it all starts with an idea.
Hi, I’m Anthony Skokal—a grad student at the Illinois Institute of Technology with a passion for designing spaces that enhance daily life. I’m focused on reimagining neighborhoods one lot at a time, inspired by how architecture connects communities and supports economic growth.
I earned my B.S. in Architectural Studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I led student orgs and volunteered with Habitat for Humanity—experiences that shaped my collaborative and community-focused approach.
This portfolio highlights academic projects exploring short-term housing, year-round athletic facilities, and adaptive reuse. Each design reflects my interest in practical, impactful, and context-driven architecture.
I also run a blog to share insights and advice with other students and emerging professionals—on everything from self-branding to anything architecture and design.
Outside of architecture, I’m likely catching a White Sox game, playing softball, or enjoying time with family and friends around Chicago.
